ABSTRACT:
An optical transmitter and/or a constituent electro-optic transducer driver that performs active matching. The transducer driver performs active matching using a voltage step down through one base-emitter bipolar transistor, followed by a step up approach through the base-emitter of another bipolar transistor, thereby allowing for lower supply voltages. Furthermore, the voltage drop across the source resistor is minimal by using an operation amplifier in a feedback configuration, thereby further encouraging operability with low supply voltages. The electro-optic transducer driver is also beneficial in that it has high AC-coupling efficiency of the modulation current to the electro-optic transducer, may operate at high speeds with reduced jitter.
